Shekhar, who is being lauded for his role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi, said that this is not his comeback. He explained saying, “I am quintessentially a theatre actor. You are just waiting for the right role to happen. There might be a hiatus, you give it a gap, because the role has to excite me. I don’t work just for the sake of being seen that I am a part of 10 OTT series, five films.”
Comparing himself to Aamir Khan, Shekhar said, “I have taken a leaf from Dilip Kumar sahab. He used to probably do one film in two to three years. Aamir Khan, they all sort of preserve themselves in a manner that people have this thirst to watch them. There is no point in getting steeped into mediocrity, that is very painful for an actor. In the midst of a show or a movie, you realize that you’ve made a mistake. That’s the worst feeling.”
Shekhar further said that he would not want to call SLB a taskmaster. He explained saying, “I would not like to use that word for him. Somehow, somewhere, it sort of conjures a vision where somebody is standing with a whip and saying ‘Do it my way’. However, in a very positive way he is a perfectionist, looking for perfection.”
